Moon-set Sunrise

In order to view this Flickr video, you'll need to
install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player.

With the help of the non-destructive, aftermarket firmware, CHDK, installed on my camera, I set the tripod up, and set the camera to fire off as many frames as it could, until it filled the SD card memory.

I did not know where the moon would eventually set, nor did I know if the sun would rise too soon, and thus wash everything out, as I could not reset the shutter speed, nor change any other settings once I set the program in motion.

It was pure, once in a 'blue moon' kind of luck.

ISO 50, shutter speed 1/60th of a second, +2 EV bias, and other info can be seen in the two stills, from this video, that I uploaded previously.

The music is a Creative Commons share from:
A genius musician and classical guitarist,

www.ottmarliebert.com

Le Cafe (Arabian Dance)
from the album Winter Rose by Ottmar Liebert

This project was made possible with the following tools:
CHDK, Canon A620, iPhoto, Quicktime, Garageband, all on a 12" Powerbook G4.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Love the trees blowing and the blinds opening in the house. The colors turned out really well too.

Thank you all for you kind words.
My neighbors' blinds, (this house and others,) is the one of the most interesting phenomena I discovered upon moving here, and since I work nights, and often get to watch sunrises from my workstation (my livingroom desk,) I get to see this amusing show.

Super guay! My two Canons are too old and too young to support CHDK. How frustrating.

OMG! I saw this because it was linked as an example, to my contact's site.. I cannot even put into words...

I love how the movement starts at dawn with the trees and perhaps a gate?

Superb

A beautiful picture, and beautiful music, too! I have got some of Ottmar Liebert's music, but I didn't know this album.
